Struggles from the floor Horton provided four points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 64-61 victory over East Carolina.

Impact Horton was unable to find his rhythm in Wednesday's win, making just two shots from the floor and missing all four of his three point attempts. The 6-foot-5 guard managed to help in other aspects of the game to make up for his offensive woes, dominating on the glass. Horton collected eight rebounds for the second straight game, including an offensive rebound. Averaging 4.0 rebounds per game, Horton has been helping on the glass in a much bigger way than usual over the last couple of games.

Sets new season high Horton closed with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 76-56 victory over Evansville.

Impact Horton's 16-point performance totaled a new season high and marked his third game this season scoring in double-figures. The senior guard has started in every game so far this season, playing in a larger role than last season. Horton transferred from Pittsburgh over the offseason and is averaging his highest points per game since his freshman season. This season, Horton is shooting just over five three-point attempts per game, making just 34.4 percent, though he was able to drill four threes in Wednesday's blowout victory.
